Description
What kind of wine is it
Allegrini Lugana Oasi Mantellina is a still white wine with a bright golden yellow colour, created from a harmonious blend of Turbiana and Cortese grapes. The bouquet offers a clear aromatic profile, characterised by notes of jasmine, white peach and bergamot, enriched with almond and a subtle hint of iodine. On the palate, it is dry and medium-bodied, supported by a vibrant freshness and an elegant savouriness. The sip finishes with a persistent finish, where hints of pear and delicate dried fruit return.
Where does it come from
This Lugana comes to life in the vineyards of Oasi Mantellina, located in the municipality of Pozzolengo. The vines grow at around one hundred metres above sea level with a south-west exposure, rooted in clay soils that give the wine its typical savoury character. The Guyot training system is combined with sustainable practices and careful climate monitoring, essential for preserving the health of the grapes. This unique terroir encourages even ripening of the grapes, ensuring a fine acidity and great balance of flavour in the glass.
How is it produced
The production process begins with a manual harvest carried out in September, selecting only perfectly ripe bunches. To enhance the natural fragrance of the grapes, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a period of resting on the lees for four months, a practice that increases the complexity of flavour and fullness on the palate. A brief final ageing completes the wine's evolution, making it an excellent accompaniment for raw seafood, shellfish and refined Mediterranean dishes.
History and Curiosities
The Allegrini winery, a symbol of quality since 1854, presents a refined Lugana DOC born from the splendid vineyards of the Oasi Mantellina in Pozzolengo. The result of a skilful blend of historical heritage and rigorous organic practices, the grapes are grown on particularly suitable clay soils and harvested by hand. Thanks to precise fermentation in steel and meticulous ageing on the lees, the wine develops a complex and elegant structure, delivering in the glass the authentic essence of an exceptional terroir that enchants with every sip.
